Improving the quality and safety of health services is vital in maintaining standards of patient care, but now a system developed by East Kilbride-based Gael Ltd. is helping health care organisations to implement best practice in care, as well as to improve the patient experience. From controlling documents to analysing and improving processes, Q-Pulse can help health care organisations to comply with formal management systems as well as to identify opportunities for continual improvement. The system will be in the spotlight across the pond at this year’s International Conference for Quality in Health Care (ICQua) in Boston to present on Q-Pulse in demonstrating compliance and encouraging continual improvement. John Sweeney of Health Care Informed (HCI) – who has extensive experience in working with health care organisations to implement Q-Pulse – is heading across the pond on September 30 to talk about how health care organisations can develop a framework that will help them to establish and implement Q-Pulse. ‘Systems like Q-Pulse help health care organisations to meet legal and regulatory requirements, as well as to highlight opportunities for improvement,’ he says. ‘But to successfully implement these systems, organisations have to have the necessary structures and processes already in place.’ For further information please contact: |
